buy a phone without a contract and it will always be unlocked.

do mexican providers always lock their phones? or can you buy one unlocked from any store as well? Even with contract?

Oh really, you can buy phone without a contract and it will always be unlocked? Hey i didn't know that, but I wonder in what state/s and city/ies?
And yeah mexican providers always lock their phone, from the moment u buy the cell phone it will be locked to the service provider from where u bought it.

Well, i'm asking where to get an unlocked cell phone cheap? (i dont know what model though, thinking bout it). If i could get it in here or where to get one, so I could buy it and then use it in my country with "pay-as-u-go" with a service provider.
